Transcript

Why do the hottest guys drive, like, the jankiest cars? Yeah. I'll take this one. Step into my office. Why do the hottest guys drive the shittiest cars? Qualifications. Jeep Wrangler, 2003, north of a 100 k miles. Check engine light's been on for the last six months. Number one, it is bug spray for bad bitches. Meaning, the whole trip chasing, court side sitting species of women are not for us and this repels them. They're over here. We're over here. They are not putting a Honda logo on that Instagram story. They know that we know that everyone goes tier separate ways, not our wives, not their husbands. Goodbye. Number two, the personality is the fit. We don't need a puke green rank truck to impress you. We'd rather just talk and be charismatic. Or, I don't know, make you laugh. Something crazy like that. Number three, we don't care. Believe it or not, we're not walking around trying to impress with a piece of fucking steel. Four, basic financial literacy. Spend less than you make. Number five, we are not a wasteful kind of guy. We're not going to waste your time and we're sure as hell no going to waste these miles. That is a fundamental characteristic of us hot guys with shitty cars. Therefore, signaling we worse probably good life partners rank those are just five to name a few.
